Hunting Island Sand Sculpture Contest

If you live in an apartment in Beaufort, SC you need to head over to the Hunting Island Sand Sculpture Contest which will be held on the North beach at Hunting Island State Park in front of the Lighthouse on July 27th. Last year, there were around 115 participants and 100 spectators.

Come One, Come All! Last year the judges awarded ribbons for first and second place in each category as well as Certificates for 1st and 2nd as well as coloring books for the kids. Best In Show received a $25.00 gift certificate to Boondocks Restaurant. Each contestant received a button with the Great Sand Sculpture Contest logo.
